Winx Eternix
Chapter 4: They're back!
The Trix Icy, Darcy and Stormy are released from their imprisonment in the Lake Forest of Light and return to Cloud Tower for their final year. They are treated with high disrespect and are not only no longer a threat but the pinnacle of ridicule. Icy and Stormy still continue to plot out their revenge on the Winx, but Darcy seems to have a change in heart.
Icy can remember strongly Ms. Griffin's words while they serve their sentence. "You girls have been pardon and sent back to Cloud Tower to finish your final year. Don't do anything stupid, but if you decide your half-baked plot will be over before you even begin!" Icy grabs a vase in the corner and smashes it on the ground, shattering it into pieces. "I'll get Griffin! I'll get Faragonda! I'll get those Winx! I'll get that stupid Bloom!"
"They have done nothing but ruin us!" Stormy says. "We need revenge! I want to pluck off their stupid wings so bad!"
"I want to get them where they hurt! I'll do anything too!" Icy yells in complete anger.
They both rant and scream threats, but Darcy lays down on her bed and looks at the ceiling; just thinking. She thinks about the time she spends in LFL. At first she hates being there, but after a while she gets so use being there she sometimes forget that she's doing time. She thinks about the times she serves both Valtor and Darkar. She thinks about all the situations the Trix team gets into and for each battle the get into with the Winx from the first encounter from their last, the Winx have gotten stronger, nearly unbeatable. She thinks about the other Cloud Tower students that watch them enter. Darcy can sense their snickers and whispers, laughs and giggles. She thinks that she's too old for school and she have gotten kicked out for nothing. When she hears her other sisters getting crazy with hate, she takes a pillow and throws it at Icy, "Would you two shut up!"
The pillow misses Icy, but smacks Stormy in the face. "What's your damage!" Stormy yells.
"Well for one, I'm trying to think. Another reason is asking why."
"Why?" Icy and Stormy asks a simultaneously.
"Why do you still want revenge against them?"
"Are you stupid?" Icy yells. "Look what they did to us!"
"Are you stupid; look what we done to ourselves! We got set to the Omega Dimension, sent to LFL TWICE, suffer humiliation being beat by those Winx numerous amounts of times and still suffering it by being the oldest witches here that didn't graduate!" Darcy stands up and walks towards the others. "The more that we fight them, the more humiliation we receive. Let's think about this, girls. What next?"
Icy just looks at her, but Stormy looks down thinking about what Darcy is saying. "I hate the Winx and the headmasters as much as you to do, but after a while, I give up. What's the point?"
Icy stomps up to her. "Our ancestors have taken over worlds and dimensions before!"
"Icy, what if it's not meant for us! Graduating is on my mind right now!"
Stormy looks at both of her older sisters with a perplex expression. "I do hate the Winx and them all…" she adds to the discussion, "but I want to do things from my choices alone."
Icy laughs. "Oh Stormy, Baby sister has to always follow the pack or else she'll be lost!" Stormy gets angry, but Icy continues. "No wonder you're such a bird brain. Your hair is a nesting ground for them!"
Stormy is in maximum anger. Darcy tries to intervene, but after seeing them argue, she withdraws herself from the situation and goes up to the balcony for some fresh air.
On the way to the Balcony, Darcy hears giggles and whispers right behind her. When she turns around to yell at them, they look at her for a moment, laugh and then head back. Darcy heads straight to the balcony. She crosses her arms and taps her foot in anger. But then she stops and her face expresses worry. The night sky makes her feel at ease, one of her power origins. The night is calm and cool. The feel-easy moment halts when Ms. Griffin orders her to her room. Usually, Darcy will flick her back as her hand nearly hitting the Headmistress's in the face, but since she doesn't care so much anymore she follows her orders and head straight to her room. Ms. Griffin stops her, "I want to talk to you, actually."
They walk together slow and quietly. Ms. Griffin starts the conversation, "You're a very wise, calm collected girl, Darcy. Your other sisters are smart too, but they never think or as the most important questions." Darcy remains silent. Ms Griffin continues, "This school was made to teach the girls dark arts and to use them against evil. Ironic, yes, but it explains quite lot. When you're familiar with the dark arts, your fear about them diminishes and you know nearly every move of your opponent. Your powers reside from Dark, but there are different forms of dark."
"Like the night sky…" Darcy mumbles.
"Yes, it's good to know the different types of power sources you can find that match with your element. Darcy, you may think you have the power of dark because of your attitudes about things and people. Your dark power comes from your mysterious ways and your heavy thinking. No one can really understand you because of your deep though, so they distance themselves from you like the night."
"I guess…"
"Darcy, I know you may still hate me and most of the people in this school, but always trust your gut feeling about your situations. When I decided to leave Valtor to let him rein his terror, it was to me one of the smartest decisions I ever made. I could have taken over the world with him or be stuck in the Omega Dimension or even killed. The thought of 'what if' doesn't concern me anymore. Trust you gut if something isn't right."
When Darcy looks around, she is in the hallway of her apartment . She turns to her door, then to Ms. Griffin, but she sees no one. She takes a good grip of the handle, opens the door to see her feuding sister and gets ready for bed, keeping what Ms. Griffin tells her to herself.
